Storm's Scott takes centre stage

Curtis Scott says the reality of reaching the NRL Telstra Premiership's biggest day hasn't hit home yet after Melbourne's preliminary final win over the Brisbane Broncos on Friday night.

The Storm held a slender 2-0 lead in the 38th minute before the 19-year-old's no-look offload put winger Josh Addo-Carr away to score the opening try of the game. It gave the home side enough impetus to kick on and win.

"I went back to the grassroots and played a little bit of backyard footy I guess," Scott said of his key play.

"I was lucky enough Joshy was on the same edge as me, so it came off.

"I wasn’t really looking at the clock, just saw a little opportunity down the short side, and just jumped on it."
